Hangzhou Asian Games is about to begin, and people from countries and regions across Asia are eagerly anticipating the performances of the athletes, as well as the chance to experience the charm of Hangzhou, where traditional Chinese culture and modern city vitality intertwine.

Muhammad Khalid Hotak from Afghanistan has become a Wushu athlete for his fascination with Chinese Kung Fu. He said, "I'm delighted to have chosen this sport, as Wushu conveys peace and friendship to people."

Nepal has never won a gold medal at the Asian Games, and Nepali karate athlete Biplov Lal Shrestha hopes to make a breakthrough in Hangzhou by bagging the first gold for his country.

Pierre Jalakh, chairman of the Lebanese National Olympic Committee said, "China always manages to showcase its long history and splendid culture in creative ways." Rowa, a student at Qatar University, believes that integrating traditional Chinese elements into the mascots of the 19th Asian Games is cool, allowing more people to understand Chinese culture.

"Hangzhou has a long history and beautiful scenery. This Asian Games will perfectly display the beauty and features of Chinese culture, enabling audiences from other countries and regions to appreciate the profound Chinese culture," said Badama Lisavada, vice chairman of the Thai Olympic Committee and member of the IOC.

Trần Quốc Phong, deputy speaker of the National Assembly, stated that Hangzhou Asian Games is a grand gathering for athletes from all Asian countries and regions. The event will enhance mutual understanding and unity among Asian countries and regions, contributing to the construction of an increasingly powerful and prosperous Asia.
